Iran

The official Twitter feed of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei today lashed out amid renewed peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian officials, emphasizing instead that Israel must be destroyed to make way for a Palestinian state.

Any operational plan 4 Palestinian cause should be based on “All #Palestine for all #Palestinians.” Palestine is from the river to the sea

The Supreme Leader’s feed added later in the day that Western governments – some of which are facilitating the peace talks – were under “Zionist dominance.” Khamenei predicted mass rebellions would break out in the West once these plots were uncovered:

How long can you deceive ur nations?Once #Americans realize how you have sacrificed their interests for #Zionists,what will they do to you?

A series of tweets over the weekend had justified Tehran’s 2009 crackdown against protesters who demonstrated against what was widely perceived to be a rigged election in favor of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. At least 72 people were reportedly killed in the violence.
